Chapter 409: What’s the point of following your dreams?

Masayoshi Kishimoto finished his omelet rice, paid for it, and got up to walk out of the small store. He had eaten too much, so he felt a bit bloated in his abdomen. At the time, Masayoshi Kishimoto hadn’t felt it sitting down. Now, as he stood up and walked, he felt it very noticeably.

When Masayoshi Kishimoto walked through the front door of the Hard Gold Group’s headquarters building, he was forever greeted by the front desk lady who took the initiative to rise and respectfully bowed forty-five degrees, as well as the forty-five degree bows of the other subordinates.

When the elevator door opened, if he humbled himself and didn’t walk in, then no one would take the initiative to walk in there. And so, he was basically alone, riding up and down in his own company’s elevator.

As soon as Masayoshi Kishimoto appeared in the president’s office. Yamada Mirai, who was the head of the secretary’s office, would take the initiative to bring a cup of freshly ground coffee. She knew that this was a habit that belonged to the Chairman.

Since Masayoshi Kishimoto had eaten too much in the morning, he didn’t pick up the coffee and drink it like he did in the past. After he had finished drinking it, then he would start working on it.

As soon as 9:30 arrived, Yamada Mirai once again appeared in front of him and said, “The Chinese guests have arrived. They are waiting for you in the small conference room right now.”

Kishimoto Masayoshi temporarily put down the matter in hand, stood up and headed out, running towards the small conference room on this floor. Yamada Mirai followed closely behind.

Masayoshi Kishimoto’s appearance caused both sides to stand up. He walked to the center seat reserved for his side and sat down. Afterwards, the crowd was seated again one after another.

The person that Masayoshi Kishimoto was facing was currently unknown. In the future, he will be famous among the Internet enterprises in mainland China.

BAT among the A, the first to be taken by him. Now, the person who meets with his business is the representative of B, that is, the founder of Baidu, Robin Li.

Masayoshi Kishimoto is not new to investing in search engines. A few years ago, he personally went to Stanford University in San Francisco, the United States of America to study in the computer-related professional doctorate by Larry? Page and Sergey? Brin made an angel investment of 100,000 dollars.

Subsequently, under his personal authorization, part-time head of the San Francisco office of the Kobayashi Kiyoshi and the formal establishment of Google Inc. for the B round, C round of investment. To date, the Hard Gold Group still maintains a 40% stake in Google as its largest shareholder.

Justice Kishimoto knew in his previous life, Baidu in 2000 at the beginning of the establishment of a considerable period of time, its search engine is basically the existence of a setup. Even if you want to search for a popular game guide or something, there will not be any response at all.

In his opinion, no matter how Baidu blow have independent intellectual property rights and so on, all changes are more or less in imitation of Google.

It is a high-return decision to make an investment in it at the present time. Baidu in the future will inevitably become the world’s second largest search engine company after Google, the first large Chinese search engine company.

Kishimoto justice on the one hand seriously listening to Robin Li with fluent American English in front of their own business model of a Baidu company exposition, the other side of his mind calculating, hard gold group of companies currently in Beijing has not yet an office.

Once he decides to invest in Baidu, he will build a new office in Beijing. This will also be his first stronghold across the Yangtze River north of the existence.

Kishimoto justice patiently waited until after Li Yanhong finished, is only in no hurry and not slow, the same with the American English said: “Your meaning, I understand all.

Investment in search engines, our hard gold group is not the first time. To say search engine, I not only invested in Google, but also invested in Yahoo! Currently, our Hard Gold Group is still the largest shareholder of these two companies.

I can disclose to you here, even the hard gold group invested in China Guangzhou Netease company also moved to think in this field to do bigger and stronger. China is, after all, the most populous country in the world.

There is such a population base macro in, do not worry about no good returns. For your company, I can make an investment.”

Li Yanhong really did not expect to be able to get the other party’s favor at the first meeting. Although he came with hope, he was also mentally prepared to be rejected. At the same time, he certainly understood what it meant that there was no free lunch under the sky.

Kishimoto justice believes that the reason why the other side will bring the core team to seek an investment, that most likely still lies in their own in mainland China a series of investment operation is caused by the relevant Internet company’s strong concern.

He first erected a right hand index finger, and then erected three fingers said: “I am a straight to the pain. Ten million dollars for 40% of the shares.”

“As far as I know, your investment in Hangzhou Alibaba is twenty million dollars, and Shanghai Shanda Network is forty million dollars. How come it’s only ten million dollars when it comes to me?

This one condition of yours is hard for me to accept.” Li Yanhong did not fail to feel that the other party had the suspicion of belittling his company, saying.

“As of now, you’re not the only company that has a search engine in mainland China. It’s a lot more than that. Even I can’t count them on this one hand.” Masayoshi Kishimoto stretched out his hands with ten fingers and said.

“Our Baidu company is completely different from them. We are an existence with great potential that will lead an Internet trend and revolution.” Robin Li said bluntly.

“The founders of the Internet companies that approached me for investment have all said almost as much as you have about changing the soup. The problem is that no one will know how things will turn out until they are made?

Of course, whether it’s an ideal, or a dream, it’s a very good thing for a young person. What’s the point of pursuing a dream in terms of success or failure.

The name of your company is nothing more than a line from Xin Qiji’s “The Case of the Green Jade”. A line from “Yuan Xi”, “Seek him out a thousand times in the crowd.” Justice Kishimoto calmly said.

Li Yanhong was instantly surprised. He would never have thought that this Japanese investor in front of him would have such a profound understanding of Chinese poetry and culture.

The reason why he would not think that the other party’s subordinates told him, lies in his own company at the moment is still like a small grain of sand in the vast ocean, will not be noticed.

This speculation was not completely unfounded. Before Kishimoto justice did not come, he and his core team members obviously felt what is called “store big bully”.

Even if others did not open their mouths to hurt you, you could still feel the arrogance of a multinational corporation. This does not exclude others have seen too much.

Investing in this one thing although there is the possibility of high returns, but there is also a huge risk, quite a large possibility is a basket of water a empty.

His side is the demand for investment, that is, to ask for money, and others that side is not owed money, is to give money. Those who owe money are all great masters, let alone those who give money.
